EDIT - I’ve got like 20 spam emails today :angry: and now I’m considering using CAPTCHA on my FanUpdate, if you know how to install the GD Library thing, I’d really appreciate it if you could give me a hand Thank you! - END EDIT

I’m so happy! The typhoon “Parrot” (they called it that for some weird reason lol ) landed really near Hong Kong today, right on today where my most disliked classes are gone! So yay! :dance: I don’t have to go to school I’m soooo happy! And to add more, I was really surprised to see 4 people online, because usually I just see 1 or 2, I love you guys so much =] I’m still working on some tutorials (meaning I’m just developing them, no typing)

But the sad thing is, my form host said the applications quota went over and I won’t be receiving emails because of that, so those who have applied, I’ll fix it today and you can apply again =] Also, I’ve put up the icons I mentioned a few days ago, because I forgot to tell you guys in the last blog, so I hope you’ll like those :bounce:

And thank you so much to those who’ve commented last time, the 6^th graders are ok now, but the problem is 7^th grade, but *sigh* who cares, I’ll just suck it up :tongue: Keep the love coming! You have no idea how much I love seeing comments

[ + + + More icons! ]

PS: Should I divide my icons into sections? I feel that I need to because my collection’s growing quite a bit.

Yesterday, China team’s Chan Yi Bing won the gold medal for the ring apparatus in gymnastics! He’s so cute! :love: But another sad thing’s that Liu Xiang had a heel injury and he couldn’t compete in the hurdles. It was soo unbelievable! :cry: Everyone in China was hoping he’d win and I hope he’ll heal soon But it’s kind of annoying they kept replaying the accident over and over again for the whole day! :tired: It’s sort of irritating seeing the coach cry and cry again and again :cry:

Anyways, school’s been great because I don’t have so much homework! :dance: Yay for that! But the bad thing’s like during lunch, no one knows their place in the “social groups” thing and the 6^th graders are like hogging ALL the tables and the new people [who I have no idea who they are] and those annoying people I don’t want to sit with keep coming over to my friend’s table and I’m like, “What the heck is going on? Are we suddenly like glowing magnets that people want to come?! Do we have to yell, ‘We don’t like you, so sit somewhere else!’ to get you to go? Gosh, 6^th graders aren’t following anything, they just swarm around.” They seriously need some order, last year, everything was good besides the 6^th graders :tongue:

Also, those advertising applications are coming to me so fast, I hardly have time to put them up. I’d really appreciate it if you’ll sign up for reviews instead of advertising, because I feel like I need to close advertising for a while. And sorry to those who’ve applied, I’ll try to put you up as soon as possible, but I’m quite busy with school and I don’t have hours of free time like I used to now. Really sorry.

Listening to: Just a Dream—Carrie Underwood

The first three days of 8^th grade was really great! Besides the fact they gave big homework already :tired: The Bible and Algebra teacher is the coolest, he’s not like the Humanities (English and Social Studies) teacher who is like really mean and picky. He doesn’t care if your lines aren’t straight, I think some people jaw-dropped :shocked: . We got used to having to use a ruler and he just said, “Just draw a line, I don’t care, you can even draw a squiggly line”. It was hilarious :lol:

Also, I made some icons yesterday and today and I never realized how fun they were when you have like hundreds of textures :tongue: Oh yeah, one tip to those who always ask about my graphics, brushes are near to useless when it comes to icons, you need textures. I suggest going to LJ and DeviantArt and looking at people’s credits pages, they’re awesome!

Look out for the new icons, I have yet to put them up, and a new tutorial!

Questions:
1. Has school started for you yet?
2. If yes for no. 1, how was it?
3. Do you want more tips in my blogs? Or would you like me to do guides?

Woopee! I finally finished adding some tutorials! I’m really happy about them, but not so much to the quantity :cry: Why can’t I have as many tutorials as Swimchick when I say *pop*? They’re so time consuming! :cry: I’ve also made a lot of color palettes, but putting up this new layout took me 2 hours. :phew: It was hardwork, but now it’s a lot more pleasing to the eye. The other layout’s colors were too hard to read. I had to squint! lol

Another thing! Reviews are now open! You can apply now! =] I’ll be very happy if I get applications
Aaaannndd… I would appreciate it a lot if you’d continue requesting tutorials. I’ll start working on a CSS one soon :nod:
